Battleship (2012)
8/10
Underrated
24 December 2021
There's a lot of hate on for this movie by a lot of grumpy bums. Why? Probably because they couldn't do any better and never had an original thought of their own. But c'mon! They made a whole movie out of a very simple kids game! Clue had it easy, it had a solve a mystery plot. But Battleship? They gave it action, they gave it laughs, some aliens that aren't grey and don't just kill everything that moves, oh, and it's got a rockin' soundtrack too, it's fun!

How often does Hawaii get centre stage outside of Pearl Harbour in a movie either? It ain't New York or California, yay!

The real heroes aren't even the top billed either, they're not the perfect highly trained super soldiers expected of the regular action flicks or the idiot with the "magic destiny" tropes. The true heroes are past their prime, looked on as lost their worth or obsolete. They ain't.
